asleep, and the dream has left him.
If it happens that you awake in a dream, in the morning the whole world has changed. It is no more the same world because your eyes are clear, you have attained to a certain clarity of perception. Now dreams cannot deceive you, now you see things as they are. You don't project.
Beware of imagination. You would like me to tell you that yes it was me. You will feel very much fulfilled if it was me hitting your head.

She went upstairs and said her
